Once, large take-out orders went to R.J. Reynolds, Hanes, Western Electric, Hertiage Furniture, Baker Furniture, and many others, but no more. “While our sales have re-mained good due to a loyal customer base, we have seen a decline in workers to help prepare and serve the barbe-cue,” said Fire Chief Rodney Miller.Beth Myers, chair of the Firefighters from the Davie Volunteer Fire Strike Force help out in wildfires in the western NC mountains last week: at left, Advance Engine 1203 and Chief Rodney Miller, Noah Tyo, Advance firefighter; Noah Pilcher, William R.

Nominate a speaker for Davie High graduation It costs $4,500 for a temporary stage to hold major concerts in the Town of Mocksville.These concerts and other events take up many valuable parking spaces, Jeannette Pitts, the town’s director of marketing and community development, told town council members last month during a budget update.Hiring sheriff’s officers, as required if the streets are closed costs $8,000 per year, she said.Pitts presented a plan to for a permanent site for concerts, movies in the park and the farm-er’s market that would have to be implemented in the upcoming budget year because of state grant deadlines. The town spent some $2 million from that grant to pur-chase the five-acre EnergyUnited/Junker’s Mill property.The town had OKd $650,000 to develop a permanent farmer’s market, which Pitts said could be expanded to include a stage, restrooms and an open air space. There is just under $1 million left on the grant.“We would like to do our movies there, our concerts on the street ... one place for all events,” she said, asking board members for direction on where the site should be located. The town has been studying possible uses for the EnergyUnited property.Interim Town Manager Lynn Trivette said the plan is an on-going commitment to improving downtown. A new crosswalk and stoplights are being installed at North Main and Gaither, across from the town’s Main Street Park, where a kids zone is proposed.“The continued investment in pedestrian safety, infrastruc-ture, upgrades and public spaces demonstrates a forward thinking approach,” Trivette said. “These efforts not only improve the vi-sual and functionality of our downtown, but also create vibrant spaces for visitors and residents to enjoy.”The town took no immediate action; the proposal is part of the budget that must be adopted be-fore the end of June. A federal law passed in 1990 requires all towns and counties to have an ADA transition plan.Davie County doesn’t have one. Neither do most counties in this area.Brad Blackwelder, Davie’s director of general services, said he got a phone call late last year from a consulting company ask-ing about the county’s plan. He had never heard of it, so he began to research.“A lot of counties do not have one,” he said. “Most are in mu-nicipalities, with sidewalks.”Blackwelder spoke from a full-size lecturn while addressing the board. “If you had an ADA requirement on this lecturn, it would be, ‘how are you going to accommodate someone in a wheelchair?” Compliance deals with more than just entrances and exits. Counter tops would have to be of different heights, bathrooms accessible, elevators.While the county doesn’t have a plan, there was no mention of penalities, other than Black-welder saying the law passed in 1990 has provisions for fines for non-compliance.Mark Jones, board chair, point-ed out that the county has been working on ADA compliance for years: Cooperative Extension was moved because of issues in the county office building; the third floor of the county courthouse is being renovated in part to make it ADA compliant; voting sites were moved to make them more accessible; and conversations are ongoing about the entrance to the Davie County Public Library.Blackwelder said the plan must include all parts of all 28 county properties, from the parking areas to sidewalks to entrances to mak-ing it possible for all individuals to conduct county business. The compliance must be for employ-ees and customersThe plan must include a time-line of what improvements will be made and when.“It is a long-term goal and fix, not overnight,” Blackwelder said.Board chair, Mark Jones, asked if a government agency had contacted the county about not having plan. Blackwelder said no, it was just a consulting firm, a firm that Commissioner Richard Poindexter said would make from $50,000-$75,000 developing the plan for the county.County Manager Brian Barnett said ADA compliance is consid-ered on all construction projects, and most issues reported to him are from employees. He knew of no instance where a resident had complained.“There is no timetable for this to be completed, because it has to be affordable,” Barnett said. “We do these things as we can afford it.”Since the issue came up at a commissioner work session, no decision was made. Blackwelder presented a plan that would take affect in July of 2026, and include a fee for a consultant.

Box 99, Mocksville, NC 27028 Cooleemee Journal 1901-1971 The Literary Corner: Renegade Writer’s Guild ConnectionsBy Linda H. BarnetteAs most of us know, Davie County became a separate county from Rowan in 1836. The legislative act creating our county stipulated that the county seat be in Mocksville or within 2 miles of the town. At the first court in 1837, according to James Wall, A.G. Carter and his wife Letitia sold 191/4 acres of their property to the commissioners for $234.40. This same Letitia also donated the land for the first Methodist church in 1833. This site was located where the Lydia Jayne’s store is now.Letitia Carter’s mother married General Jesse Pearson after the death of her first husband, Hugh Wilson, in 1808, when Letitia was 2 years old. Pearson was a high-ly decorated War of 1812 soldier, member of the North Caronia Gen-eral Assembly and the North Car-olina Senate. He built a house on Salisbury Street, referred to in Kirk Mohney’s book The Historic Ar-chitecture of Davie County as the Pearson-Martin-Sprinkle house. After Pearson’s untimely death from being thrown from a horse at age 44, the house changed hands several times. I have no specific in-formation about his widow Elizbeth except that she lived until 1861 and is buried in Rose Cemetery while he was buried in the Pearson Fami-ly Cemetery near Cooleemee.According to deeds, the house was owned over the years by An-drew Hunt, Dr. James Franklin Martin, William Clement, L.J. Holeman, M.J. Horn (all listed in Mohney’s book), and finally to Rev. Henry Clay Sprinkle, who was a pastor at First United Methodist Church. In 1839 William V. Sprin-kle, Rev. Sprinkle’s son, who was an architect, renovated the house. At his father’s passing, Dr. Henry Call Sprinkle inherited the house. Dr. Sprinkle and his wife were ac-tive members of First Methodist, and the Sprinkle Misson is named for them. They lived in the house until 1986 when they moved to a retirement home in Winston.It was interesting to discover that Letitia Carter and Dr. Sprinkle were both connected to the church and the house on Salisbury Street. Another discovery was that one of my classmates from the old Cherry Street School in town was that Le-titia Rodwell was the great-great-great granddaughter of Letitia and Archibald Carter.When I was growing up, Craig and Mary Chapman lived in the house on Salisbury Street with their 2 daughters. When I visited them one time with my cousin, I was very impressed by all the steps. Childhood MemoriesBy E. BishopThe summer before his passing, my brother wanted me to record some stories he had told through the years about his childhood. As he stated, if no one writes them down, they will be lost forever. As some family members had heard them many times, sometimes they This 1800s house is on Salisbury Street in Mocksville. would roll their eyes and think ‘oh no, not again.’ But, he was an ex-cellent story teller, funny and want-ed to be remembered as such.Keep in mind, this is Pete’s voice telling a story of his youth that only he could tell; no proper grammar but good southern con-versation a lot of us older folks can relate to.“It was in the early 50s, out-side there in the backyard, Jerry (a neighbor) both of us 7 or 8 years old maybe just playing around. Jerry liked to climb trees. And Dad-dy’d had some lumber sawed and stacked there under the old maple tree at the back of the house. There was an old cellar and stuff back there and dirt under that tree, and we’re always back there playing in the sand or something.“But, oh, uh, one Sunday morn-ing there, Daddy’s sitting in there at the window where he could see us and he was, uh, shaving. He shaved every Sunday morning and about the same time. And he’s sitting there at the window, shaving, and we were out there playing and stuff; Jerry decided to climb the tree. We got up on top of the lumber pile and you can reach the first limb from the top of the pile and Jerry said, “C’mon, let’s climb a tree.” Well, we got up in the tree and then Dad-dy comes out. We didn’t get far up in it. And, he told us he was gonna whup our tails if he caught us back up in that tree.“Well, he went back in the house, went back to shaving, and Jerry slipped off up the tree again. And he got way up there and the tree was forked. Jerry got up there and he said, “Pete, watch me, I’m gonna do like a squirrel. I’m gonna jump from this side of the tree over onto that side.” I said, “You better not, Jerry, you’re gonna fall out.” “Oh, I’ma…I can catch, I’ma jump over like a squirrel.” “Well, he jumped; he missed the limb and down through there he come, head first and then the next thing you know, he hit a limb or something and it spins him around. He’s coming down there pretty fast, but he’d catch a limb every once in a while and slow him up. And when he got to that bottom limb, he caught it but it couldn’t hold him; it jerked him loose after he caught it. Just swiped his nose right down across that limb and his old nose was bleeding bad; he jumped down just a’squalling and took off up across the field.“Daddy come out there with that old big leather strap that he used to sharpen his straight razor that he shaved with; come out there, gonna whup our tails. And he said, “Was you up in that tree?” “I told you what I was gonna do and I’m ready to do it.” He said, “Where’s Jerry?” I said, “He went across that field out there. He, he busted his nose open.” Daddy said ‘I’m gonna bust something else open if he comes back down here climbing that tree again. He said, “Did you get back up in that tree? And you better not lie to me either!” I said “Nope.”“All right then,” Daddy said. So I got out of that whupping. But, Jerry went home and didn’t come back for about a week or so. And, that’s the end of that story (as he laughs).” Rule Number OneBy Felicia BrowellI’m a huge advocate for over- coming fears. I had my share of fears as a kid – bee stings, spiders, heights, public speaking, being in a fire. I don’t remember public speak-ing being a big deal when I was a kid, although I was very shy, and tried to be unnoticed. I managed to get through most of elementary school without either falling from a great height or stepping onto a stage into a spotlight.But heights? I don’t recall being afraid of heights when I was ten or twelve years old, or when I learned to fly a hang glider when I was a senior in high school.As a kid, I challenged myself to climb all the way to the top of the Old Larch Tree in the woods behind my house. I did it every time. I re-member the top swaying slightly while I looked out onto the field where we used to ride our bikes and play frisbee. I never fell out of a tree, only twice fell off a bike, and fell or was tossed from horses another dozen times. But I always got back up and kept going. Around 1999, I tried to climb a ladder so I could clean the gutters on my house in Pittsburgh; at about a third of the way up, my knees were so weak I thought I’d slip through the rungs. Then when I started up a climbing wall in a big rec centers (with the safety harness on), I froze. Or rath-er my joints melted into quivering Slinkies as I gasped for air and my vision narrowed to a slim blurry haze. My children scampered up to the top of that cursed wall, tapped the target, and were down again while I was still on the second foot-hold, trying to find the strength to keep going or ease myself down to earth again.So in 2005, I went to Skydive PA, took the lessons, and threw my-self out of a perfectly good airplane at 13,500 feet. Pulled my own rip cord, too. No tandem for me. It was glorious, and I remember the wind rush like I just did it yesterday. Lad-ders are easy now, and I can handle those fake rock walls, too.Which is how I came up with Rule Number One.Rule One is simple – Fear in-terferes. If you are afraid of some-thing, you can miss opportunities to achieve a goal, to do something that will benefit you or others, or opportunities to live your best life. Or fear might lead you to do things you shouldn’t do. I view fear as the root of almost all of mankind’s ills. Fear limits us in so many ways.If you are afraid to fly on an airplane, it’s hard to visit Hawaii. Not impossible, but harder. If you are afraid of public speaking, you might not be able to teach that class your boss wants you to teach. If you are afraid of dogs, the local park might be a challenge, as would a visit a friend or family member who has dogs.I dropped a voice class in college when, on the first day, the teacher told us we’d have to stand and sing scales. I always wished I’d tried to stay. So in 2003, I auditioned for a play and scored a small part. Later that summer, I was in costume in front of an audience three nights in a row. When the opportunity came up to speak at a convention (for a collectible that I wrote a book on), I was able to do it. Yes, my mouth was dry and I was trembling at first, but I pushed through it. I ended up speaking at that convention six years in a row. Better yet, I gained real self-confidence and can now stand and speak when needed.Fear interferes with you be-ing your best self. Fear prevents you from doing things you might want or need to do, from achieving all that you can achieve. It leads to missed opportunities to grow. Overcoming fears is hard. It means taking a risk – but there’s another fear many of us need to get through, too – the fear of failing. Give your-self permission to fail at something, just don’t let that be the end of it. Failure isn’t final. Make your mis-takes, figure out what you need to do differently, pick yourself up, and try it again. You are worth it, and you can succeed. Political people are becoming more and more deranged.I looked the word “deranged” up to make sure it would be appro-priate for that first sentence.It was.The true Democrats and the true Republicans - those who vote for the party regardless of the can-didate, and who stand up for that party and candidate regardless - are deranged.It’s confusing to those of us who really don’t care the opinions of our favorite music, movie or political stars. Yes, political stars. Unfortu-nately, over the past couple of de-cades, some of our politicians are acting more like famous stars than caring common folk. It’s confusing for those of us who really don’t care which polit-ical side has the power. That’s what it’s all about, anyway. And now, electric vehicles, that scourge the left has been touting for the past few years, have turned right.If you had told me two years ago that the electric Tesla vehicles would be a target of the political left for vandalism, I would have told you that you were deranged. The left loves electric vehicles. The left tried to shove electric ve-hicles down our throats. They tried to convince us that electric vehicles would slow global warming (While the science of global warming is real, the ideas of those on the left and the right are nothing more than scientific theories.).And now, it’s those left wingers who are vandalizing Tesla electric vehicles.Why?Elon Musk. President Donald Trump’s hit man made Tesla what it is today.Musk is easy to dislike. He ap-pears to enjoy firing people. People with families, people who did their job as they were told to do, were fired. Point blank. Musk celebrated those firings. While the government is no doubt too big and needs to be reduced, there’s no need to cele-brate ruining people’s lives. Apol-ogize, and tell them it’s best for the country. But don’t go on TV gladly wielding a chainsaw to show your power and apparent joy in ruining lives.I digress.Looking out to both sides from the midde, you guys are confusing.It makes me want to go out-side and mow some grass, a relax-ing chore free from our everyday plugged-in lifestyles.But I need a new lawnmower, not much, just a small push one. Do I get a gas-powered or a bat-tery-powered mower? Will I be labled left or right based on my choice? If I go gas, will we all die from a poisoned atmosphere? If I go electric, will I be adding more toxic waste to our already over-crowded landfills?Like I said, you guys are con-fusing.I need a beer.- Mike Barnhardt To the editor:Will cuts to and disruptions of our Social Security benefits be the price we pay- the suffering?The Social Security website is seeing crashes due to the number of people heeding warnings. Some high-echelon employees in the Social Se-curity Department are even telling their family members to go to the ssa.gov website and get a hardcopy of their Lifetime Work Records. How? Find Card and Record at the top of the website page, go to Personal Record (you may have to create an account) and print out your Earnings Report. Why? In case, in Musk’s purge, it gets deleted.Headlines are indicating, thanks to DOGE, the Social Security Admin-istration is in a mess. Thousands of career workers have been fired and replaced by young tech savvy novices. Is the use of AI inevitable too? How long have Think Tanks had their eyes on Social Security cuts? Some time back, I wondered why Dick Armey, then chair of FreedomWorks who had been seen as the face of the Tea Party, was at a local church slamming governmental services so many depend on in their retirement years.Fast forward to Elon Musk. It’s been pointed out, while retirees average receipts of $65 a day from the government, Musk earns $8 million a day for his federal SpaceX contract. Research shows when you add up SpaceX money, Tesla (electric vehicle) money, loans, subsidies, tax credits and government contracts, he is $38 billion dollars richer. Yes. Billions of tax-payer money. And he uses it to buy votes while calling Social Security a “Ponzi scheme.” He spends it while, falsely, claiming tens of millions of dead people are getting checks.The latest? Musk says his fraud finding, deficit reduction will result in increases to our benefits. Meanwhile, on the hill, some lawmakers are saying to watch out for backdoor cuts to Social Security.When I look at all the billionaires in the administration, and some of the cuts, I question whether I can trust them to advocate for the best interest of a peon like me.Alice Garrett Brown, Mocksville Can billionaires relate?

Depot. When Davie EMGs started planting the garden, they decided to make it a “foodscape” or edible land-scape garden. They incor-porated vegetables such as peas, Swiss chard, tomatoes, peppers, and squash into the existing ornamentals, along with lettuces and herbs in the smaller planters. Residents of the surround-ing neighborhood were invit-ed to come pick vegetables whenever they wished. Any-thing the residents didn’t pick was harvested and donated to A Storehouse for Jesus for the food bank.Over the last several years, the Foodscape Garden has evolved to incorporate even more types of vegetables and fewer ornamentals. Because of this, the relationship with the surrounding neighbor-hood has blossomed. Folks were consulted on the types of vegetables they liked, and Davie EMGs planted ac-cordingly. People both from the neighborhood and those just traveling down E. Depot Street could be seen picking vegetables.Last year, the Food-scape Garden became a true Clockwise from left: Davie Extension Master Gardeners work on a community edible garden on Depot Street in Mocksville; build raised beds at the Storehouse for Jesus garden; and pick and inspect veggies from the Storehouse Garden.Master gardeners helpfeed the community three-season garden to better serve the area, with greens in the winter and early into this year.The second garden that Davie EMGs run is the dona-tion garden at A Storehouse for Jesus. The Davie EMGs, in partnership with The Davie High School FFA, took over management of the garden in 2021 when Diane Salmon, the long-time garden manag-er moved from the area.Knowing that Storehouse depended on the garden for fresh vegetables, Davie EMGs took their mission se-riously. They met with Store-house to find out which vege-tables were most in demand, and planned their produc-tion around that. Vegetables like potatoes, squash, green beans, tomatoes, and peppers flew out the door at Store- house. Blackberry plants that were given as part of an NCSU research project were planted. In 2024, Davie EMGs installed a new gate to make delivery of mulch and soil easier, replaced some of the original raised beds, and installed drip irrigation to save water and labor. Davie EMGs donated almost 1,500 pounds of produce from the garden to Storehouse in 2024, and hope to beat that number in 2025.Both gardens are regis-tered with the USDA Peo-ple’s Garden program tht rec-ognizes gardens all across the nation that improve access to food and increase soil health. Both were recognized as sup-porting a resilient local food system – something that ev-ery community should have.

It’s best to start small, especially if you wish to preserve the look of your landscape. Add a few herb plants, some lettuces, or Swiss chard to an herbaceous border. Certain flowers, such as nasturtium, calendula, and borage are edible and beautiful. A border of chives around a flower bed can be attractive.

To help you decide, here are some common types of fences, plus tips on selecting the right one.• Wood fences are pop-ular for their natural beauty and durability. A wood fence can be stained or painted to match your home’s exterior, and you can customize it to fit specific needs. However, wood requires some mainte-nance.• Chain-link fences are more affordable than wood fences. They’re also dura-ble and can withstand a lot of wear and tear. Chain-link fences aren’t as esthetically pleasing as other fences, but they’re a good choice for se-curity.• Vinyl fences are low-maintenance and resis-tant to rot and decay. They come in a variety of colours and styles, so you can find one to complement the style and colour scheme of your home’s exterior. Vinyl fenc-es are also relatively easy to install.• Metal fences are often Four types of material popular for fencing used for security purposes, such as around schools or businesses. Metal fences can be made from a variety of materials, including wrought iron, steel and aluminum. When fence shopping, con-sider practical needs and budget and choose a style that suits your property. Ask a professional for advice on the right material, height and design to meet your objectives while adher-ing to zoning regulations and property boundaries. Edible ... can be lovely and productive in the right site. Blueberry bushes can be a striking part of the landscape with their white flowers in the spring and red leaves in the fall. Bush cherries provide tasty and attractive fruit, and can serve as a low hedge.Fruit trees, while more work than other edible plant options, can be a very attrac-tive addition to a landscape. Many fruit trees are available as a dwarf variety, allowing them to fit into even the very smallest yards. Flowers in the spring are followed by delicious fruit.The combination of edi-ble and ornamental plants is limited only by a gardener’s available space and time. Ed-ible landscaping will allow you to have the satisfaction of growing some of your own food while enjoying a beautiful yard. Are you interested in contemporary, on-trend home decor?Check out the following 2025 interior design trends to elevate your home.• This year’s hottest co-lours are earthy tones and deep blues inspired by na-ture and travel. These shades create a serene atmosphere. Terracotta and moss green are essential colours for con-necting indoor and outdoor spaces in every season.You can incorporate these colours into your decor by painting your walls or using wallpaper. You can also inte-grate them through furniture or textiles, such as curtains, cushions and rugs.• Sophisticated, easy-care materials like raw wood, marble and steel are trend-ing in stylish homes. Glass will also be considered a must-have for its elegance and versatility. Whether it’s translucent, frosted or tex-tured, glass adds a sense of openness and luminosity to your living space.Polished concrete and natural stone are still popu-lar with people who prefer timeless, minimalist designs. Durability is a key consider-ation this year. Consequent-ly, eco-friendly and recycled materials have become es-sential choices for responsi-ble homeowners.• The maximalist trend continues to captivate with its bold, contrasting patterns, textures and colours. At the same time, retro styles from the 70s and 80s are making a strong comeback, offering warm, vibrant interiors that appeal to those who savour nostalgia. Although minimalism is going strong, it’s gradually giving way to more eccentric and personalized styles.Another trendy style is Japandi, a harmonious blend of Scandinavian esthetics and Japanese serenity. This style focuses on simple lines, natural materials and functional spaces, creating a calming, uncluttered envi-ronment ideal for those crav-ing serenity.• This year, unique table-ware is a decorative element unto itself. Using mirrors in various shapes and sizes can help visually expand your space. As smart technologies become more prevalent, in-tegrating touch screens into decor can add a modern feel.Sculptural light fixtures and oversized wall art are major focal points in mod-ern decor.

Use these ideas to hide the television DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, April 3, 2025 - B1Sports By Brian PittsEnterprise Record The legend of Coy James grew at Mt. Tabor when the Davie senior surpassed a star from yesteryear in career home runs. Matt Marion delivered epic power-hitting exploits from 1988-90, and his 16 career dingers held up for 35 years. James padded his already-pristine resume by slam-ming Nos. 16 and 17 at Tabor on March 28. The record-breaker was a gland slam. “I am 100 percent totally happy about this actually, as Coy is the per-fect person to achieve this honor,” Marion, 53, said. “I am very happy for him, but this is only the begin-ning in my opinion. Please send my congratulations to him and his parents. Davie High School started in 1956, so it’s a 75-year milestone. Congratulations Coy.”Davie 16, Tabor 2Heavily-favored Davie belted the Spartans in both meetings, the first one at home on March 25. The War Eagles extended the margin to mercy-rule territory during a nine-run fourth, doing the damage on four hits, two walks and two errors. Logan Allen (3-4, four RBIs), James (2-3, double) and Brandon Forrest (2-2) paced the offense. At this point, James had reached base via hit, walk or hit by pitch in 35 By Brian PittsEnterprise Record What a blast it was for Davie’s girls soccer team to beat Reagan for the first time ever. What a week for the War Eagles, who ended a five-game losing streak to Mt. Tabor. “I told them you’ve got to go through the struggle before you can have success, and now they’re see-ing where that hard work has gotten them to,” coach Corbin Kopetzky said after Davie improved to 7-1-1 overall to match last year’s win total with a ton of games to go. “And I’m excited to see how the rest of the season goes.”Davie 4, Reagan 1Not only did the Raiders watch their 28-game winning streak in the series go up in flames, they never stood a chance at Davie on March 24. It was 3-0 at halftime and 4-0 before Reagan (2-4-1) got on the board. “We were pretty dominant most of the game,” Kopetzky said. “They are really young this year. We are built to be competitive in confer-ence, and that’s happening. We had some confidence rolling in, and I think that showed.”Lanna Robinson had half the goals. Jaden Sink and Kate Chaf-fin had one each. The assists were produced by Makenna McGowan, Lydia Postell and Gracyn Coleman. By Brian PittsEnterprise Record The big showdown at West For-syth was a nightmare for Davie’s softball team, but on the bright side, pitcher Riley Potts returned to form and Raelyn Lankford delivered an electrifying hit in a nonconference win over Northwest Guilford. West 12, Davie 2In a matchup of two unbeatens in the CPC, Davie was outplayed in every possible way by West Forsyth on March 25. The War Eagles were outhit 13-6, made two errors and trailed 9-0 in the fourth inning as a piano fell on their nine-game winning streak and their best start in 24 years. The Titans (11-0, 6-0 CPC) have been destroying everything in their path. Davie (5-1 CPC) slipped to second in the league with its fourth straight loss in the series. “They hit really well,” coach Nathan Handy said. “They beat us offensively up one side and down the other. And we made mistakes that we haven’t made this year. It was one of those games; it almost felt like South Iredell (in the 16-1 loss on Feb. 25). It wasn’t as bad of a beating, but nothing was clicking. Those games happen, but it stinks that it happened in a big game like that. But the positive thing is, we see them again.”The bright spot was Jadyn Davis, who went 3 for 3 with a double to raise her average to a flashy .566 (17 for 30). Carleigh Croom, Lankford and Delaney Parsons had the other hits. West’s shortstop/leadoff batter, Sydney Horton, is a monster who has signed with North Carolina. She went 2 for 3 with three runs, a home run and two walks. “She’s a phenomenal athlete,” Handy said. “She’s a great hitter. She’s just a game changer. If you can get her out more than half the time, you’re doing good. We got her out once. She might be more dangerous than Emma Clarke was (at West Rowan from 2021-24), just because of her speed. Her speed is unreal.”Davie 4, NWG 1Two days later, Potts was back to looking untouchable, throwing a three-hitter with 15 strikeouts as her team rallied for a home win over Northwest Guilford. Potts was one K short of her Davie soccer off to best start in 17 years No one dominated more than Sink, the senior and future college player at Miami (Ohio). “Jaden was all over the place,” the coach said. “She opened the scoring. We took her out for a little bit and they scored. We put her back in and some of those chances went away pretty quickly.”Davie 1, Tabor 0Tabor and visiting Davie were at each other’s throats yet again on March 26. This marked the ninth straight meeting decided by one goal, but Davie was almost always a beat behind in the others, losing seven of the eight. The Spartans beat Davie by a hair, 1-0, on March 6. The rematch was eerily reminis-cent of the other matchups in recent years, except the roles were reversed when time expired. The War Eagles got an 800-pound gorilla off their back by beating Tabor for the first time since 1-0 in May 2022. “That’s the game we always look forward to because it’s always com-petitive and it always comes down to the wire,” Kopetzky said. It was 0-0 at halftime. Chaffin, an aggressive freshman who is second on the team with four goals, rose to the occasion at 55 minutes when she won a one-on-one battle with the goalie and put in the game’s lone goal. “Kate got a beautiful ball from Please See Best - Page B4 The legend grows James breaks home run record that stood for 35 years of 45 plate appearances, and his extra-base tally was up to 15 in 12 games. “(A double to right-center) was on an absolute line,” coach Joey Anderson said. “Even though he’s hit some balls out of our ballpark, that ball was impressive. Their lefty wasn’t throwing gas or anything like that, but he threw him one on the outside edge and Coy hit it like a bullet for a ground-rule double. Every day you see something a little bit different. It would have left in a lot of parks.”Allen’s big night boosted his season average from .150 all the way to .260. “Logan did great,” Anderson said. “Logan has potential to drive in runs. He doesn’t hit the ball far, but he can hit gaps, he can hit doubles and he had a huge night. He finally was aggressive with the bat and swung it very well.”The next big thing in the Davie program could be Forrest, a fresh-man who had seen limited JV action as he recovered from a football inju-ry. He’s 3 for 6 in two varsity games, and he played center field and batted second behind James against Tabor. “Brandon showed promise from the beginning, but he was on a plan to where he could only play one in-ning, then he moved to two innings and he was going through PT and he wasn’t released,” Anderson said. “We were trying to help his progress after he had knee surgery. Before the West Rowan game, he was fi-nally cleared to participate, and we decided we were going to start him off as a DH and then work him in. He’s actually a third baseman but he’s been working really hard in the outfield. Brandon has been swinging it very good. I’m not saying he’s Coy James, but his demeanor is a little bit like Coy’s. He doesn’t say much, he just comes out and gets the work in and he’s very coachable. When they walked Coy one time, he came up with a big hit.”Tucker Hobbs cruised on the mound, allowing four hits and one earned run. The Spartans (2-7, 0-5 CPC) stunned Oak Grove 14-4, but they’ve dropped three straight since by an aggregate score of 46-3. “(Mt. Tabor coach Andrew) Jones is doing a really good job with that team, and they have some guys that can hurt you,” Anderson said. “Tucker Hobbs kept him offbalance and we played pretty good defense. Brandon had a sliding catch in the first inning, and Hunter Potts and Logan Allen made some key plays cutting off balls in the gap and holding them to singles. Those are hustle plays.”Davie 14, Tabor 2The second blowout win over Ta-bor was defined, of course, by James’ record-tying and record-breaking blasts. In the top of the first in Win-ston-Salem on March 28, he rode the game’s third pitch over the fence. With Kason Stewart, Coston Cola-marino and Hayden Potts aboard in the fourth, James’s glow-in-the-dark bat slammed the grand slam to left. With nine homers, James has the most in 18 years. Not only did he dis-place Marion at the top of the career list, James is also storming up the single-season list. Zach Howard hit a record 11 homers in 2007. James is second in that category, followed by a three-way tie for third - Marion (eight in 1989), Corey Randall (eight in 2011) and Matt Vernon (eight in 2012). James is hitting .700 (28 for 40). It’s incredible stuff. “He got a hanging curveball and he hit it really well,” Anderson said. “He ran the bases just like he has on any other home run.”“I was just trying to go up and hit something hard and score some runs, but the home run was definitely in the back of my head,” James said. “I also hit a grand slam at Tabor last year, so I was thinking about it again as I went to hit with the bases loaded.”Davie got eight hits and was gifted 15 walks. James went 2-3 with two walks and five RBIs. Getting one hit were Forrest, Hunter Potts, Drew Krause, Carson Queen, Cola-marino and Hayden Potts. Parker Davis was strong on the hill, throwing four scoreless innings Please See Record - Page B5 Potts fires 15 Ks Please See Ks - Page B5 With umpire Dan Ozimek on the call, catcher Drew Krause takes a throw from Logan Allen and tags out a Tabor runner.

Although the outcome was all too familiar - it was Davie’s fifth loss by 5-4 or 6-3 margins - coach Shane Nixon was proud of the effort. The winners were No. 2 Grayson Busse, No. 4 Luke Cranfill and No. 5 Brady Carter in singles and the No. 3 doubles team of Carter/Cranfill. “At 2-5 (overall), it might be easy to think I’m disap-pointed,” Nixon said. “That would be wrong. Don’t mis-take my feelings - I want the results to follow the improve-ment, but understand that we are improving. Even though our top three players are seniors, we are a very young By Brian PittsEnterprise Record Kayden Richardson, a sophomore for Davie’s girls lacrosse team, proved her immense worth again with a huge performance in a 9-7 home win over North David-son on March 27. The score was 7-7 before Richardson strutted her stuff when it mattered most. After her fifth and sixth goals, Da-vie was a high-fiving winner. “They were marking off Lyndsay (Davis), and they were trying to mark off Kayden, but Kayden is just a phenomenal player and was getting around them,” coach Haley Hines said. Richardson did her clutch work in the last five minutes. “My assistant coach (Brit-tany Lloyd) overheard them say they were coming after No. 11, which is Kayden,” Hines said. “We told her: ‘They are going to triple you.’ And she had the prettiest play. She got the draw control, ran it down and had a wide open shot. They left her lane wide open and she scored within six seconds of getting the draw. They were so mad. She scored the two goals to get us that 9-7 lead.”Besides all the goals, Richardson finished with eight ground balls, six draw controls and left the game with a team-high 19 goals on the season. “They shut Lyndsay and Kimber (Holston) down, and Kayden was the only one that could really get around them,” Hines said. “Kayden was definitely the rock star of that game.”Lila Moore had two goals and Davis had one. The same duo had Davie’s two assists. To this point, all three of Boys lacrosse: best start in history The Davie boys lacrosse team is off to the best start (8-1 overall) in is 12-year history. These high-flying War Eagles whipped Reagan, North Davidson and Mt. Tabor last week. Jack Pisciotta had seven goals in a 15-4 home win over Reagan on March 25. Ty Carter (three) and Henry Hines (two) had the other goals. In a home nonconference game on March 27, T. Carter (four), Evan Helms (three), Pisciotta (two), William Carter (two) and Barrett Robertson (two) had multiple goals in a 19-5 win over North Davidson. Scoring one goal each were Jayce Bentley, Elijah Chaffin, Luke Wayne and Owen Blakely. And then in Winston-Salem on March 28, the War Eagles improved to 3-1 in the CPC with a 19-7 decision over Tabor. The bulk of the goals came from Pisciotta (seven), T. Carter (four) and Blakely (three). Getting one were Caleb Coble, W. Carter, JD Cunningham, Reid Tilley, Isaac Sherman and Caswell Moore. Hunter, Walsh have career‑best rounds Junior Braxton Hunter and senior James Walsh both shot career-best 3-over 38s in a CPC match at Pudding Ridge on March 24, the Davie players tying for seventh out of 40. Teammates Tyler Shore and Seager Brooks had 41s as Davie finished second as a team. The War Eagles entered in fifth place out of sixth and remained in fifth - but the race did tighten in Davie’s favor. The team scores at Pudding Ridge: West Forsyth 144, Davie 158, Reagan 161, East Forsyth 163, Reynolds 166, Mt. Tabor 175. The overall team standings for the top five entering the week: West Forsyth 466, Reynolds/Reagan 490, East Forsyth 503, Davie 504. Carter Spillman broke 40 for the third time with a 4-over 39 in a nonconference match at Pudding Ridge on March 26. Josh Bailey shot 42, while Walsh and Brooks had 43s. Lake Norman edged Davie 165-167. Norman, Broadus 3 hits each for North Paxton Broadus went 3 for 3 as North Davie’s baseball team battered visiting South Davie 15-0 on March 24. Broadus singled in each of the first three innings. Sawyer Hall doubled in a seven-run second, and Wade Ridenhour tripled to plate two runs in the third. Wyatt Hall got the win on the mound. The righty hurled two hitless innings. Seger Holt and Landon Norman pitched in relief for the Wildcats. North accumulated 14 hits. Norman matched Broadus with three hits, and he led the team with four RBIs. Ridenhour, Hall and Easton Stanley each had two hits. Aydan Shay had two of North’s six walks.

Six of our top 10 are freshmen and sophomores. That is a lot less excuse and a lot more just fact. So getting better is the goal here, and we are. But we had another match that we didn’t win split, and had a doubles match that I felt like we probably should have won. We are getting better.”Davie 6, East 3Two days later, the War Eagles flushed the taste of so many close losses by beating East Forsyth in Kernersville. “We needed a win (after four losses in five matches),” said Nixon. “I talk a bunch about 6-3 losses being ‘just that close’ to wins, so let me not be a hypocrite here. EF proved that we aren’t that much better than them with their play today. But we pulled out two big wins that kept this thing as a team win on our side.”No. 3 Barrett Taylor, Cran-fill, Carter and No. 6 Riley Mallory lifted Davie to a 4-2 lead in singles. “Barrett got off the snide, but it did not come easy. He battled through a first set and then took over in the second. Barrett is as good a kid as there is. He’s polite, he’s smart, he’s an excellent student. He kind of exempli-fies our ‘better off the court than on’ mentality. But it feels good when his on-court results match the person he is becoming.“I’m running out of ways to say how good Luke’s been. Still undefeated in singles, still really good in doubles, and again better off the court than on. When you are unde-feated as a freshmen in our conference and your coach says you are a better kid than player, it tells you the kind of year he’s having. Unbeliev-ably good. “With Brady, I never have to wonder if I got all he could give me. For two years, he has emptied the tank every time I’ve called on him. His record in two years? Well, he isn’t undefeated but I don’t need all my toes to count the losses. “Riley came out of a two-game slump and played well. He kind of hit that freshman wall, but I am proud of how he responded. And the two played very well to get a doubles win.”The team winner was de-termined in doubles, and Busse/Chris Samet and Car-ter/Mallory finished off the victory at Nos. 2-3 doubles, respectively. “Chris is coming into that extra doubles spot and play-ing great,” Nixon said. “He doesn’t play like a freshman.”Davie is 16-0 against East since they became conference rivals in 2018. Davie 8, Tabor 1In their third match in four days, the War Eagles took a blowtorch to visiting Mt. Tabor on March 27. Unlike 2024 when the teams split 5-4 matches, this one was over in singles. “In so many ways, I am dang proud of this squad,” Nixon said after Davie im-proved to 4-5 overall and 4-4 in the CPC. “You look at our lineup and see three seniors and think maybe we are a senior-laden team that is un-derachieving. But in reality, we are an incredibly young team that has been in every match we’ve played. Yes, we start the three seniors at 1-2-3, but those are our only seniors. And we only have two juniors. Tabor is not a bad team, but we really hammered them.”Sweeping singles were Busse, Zach Hill, Taylor, Cranfill, Carter and Mallory. Completing the emphatic win in doubles were Busse/Samet at No. 2 and Carter/Mallory at No. 3. “At the top of my lineup, Grayson and Zach go out and take the other team’s best punch every day,” Nixon said. “They don’t complain, they don’t fuss. Their records might not be what they nor I would want, but their contri-butions to our team are huge and don’t think their coach isn’t aware.” Davie’s wins were exciting games decided by one or two goals. “In other games, we get super excited and can’t slow the ball down, and that’s how East Forsyth started coming back a little bit (in a 10-9 win on March 21),” Hines said. “To see them actually stall them out and hold onto the ball and pass it around, it was so good to see them evolve in a way we haven’t done before.”Davie 12, Tabor 5More positive momentum came the next day when Davie burned Mt. Tabor on the road. Richardson (three), Da-vis (two) and Holston (two) deposited multiple goals as Davie improved to 4-3 overall and 2-2 in the CPC. Adding one goal each were Mallory Peck, Moore, Beth-any Jacobs, Olivia Howard and Madison Daugherty. Richardson had two assists and Davis had one. Notes: The first game of the week was a 22-7 home loss to Reagan on March 25. Davis and Richardson had three and two goals, respectively. Moore, Holston and Gracie Shore had one. Peck and Richardson had the team’s two assists.

I think it rolled across the line before she hit it a second time. We handled most of the possessions in the sec-ond half. Kate played right winger most of the night.”What an assist from Rob-inson. “We talked at halftime about how they were leaving the backside open,” he said. “Lanna read it, saw it on the run and Kate made a great run and capitalized on it.”Just as importantly, junior goalie Aubrie Pulaski came through with 12 saves. “We’ve given up four goals the whole season,” Kopetzky said. “Part of that is the back line and part of that is how great Aubrie has been in the goal. She made some Aubrie Pulaski saves. The growth she has made to be able to make some of these saves is outstanding. She really buckled down in the offseason. Her confi-dence has skyrocketed and she made some spectacular saves.”You already know that dazzling back line had a lot to do with the monster win. Monica Ramirez, Mc-Gowan, Sink, Mallie Wall and Coleman have been constants during Davie’s drive to 7-1-1 overall and 3-1 in the CPC. Oh, and this is the best start in 17 years; Davie was 8-1 at this point in 2008. “(Pulaski’s) also got that stellar back line in front of her,” he said. “We rotate five in four spots. Monica and Makenna may switch and Makenna drops where we need her. She plays the center midfield spot, but I pull her if I need to. Monica played center forward for about 15 minutes and almost scored.”Notes: The Spartans, who lost 2-1 to East Forsyth the game before, slipped to 6-2-1. ...

After sweeping Parkland and Tabor, the War Eagles are 4-2 in the CPC. They have a 10-game winning streak against Tabor. Watauga 8, Davie 4The War Eagles got off to a terrible start in a home non-conference game on Saturday, and that was the difference as their overall record dipped to 6-8. In the top of the first, the Pioneers had a walk, a dou-ble, a walk, a single and a walk before the first out. The grabbed a 3-0 lead and would lead 8-2 going into the bottom of the seventh. Davie had almost as many errors (four) as hits (six). “We’ve got to take care of the defensive side,” Anderson said. “That’s one of the things Record ... Continued From Page B1single-game record set last year at Starmount. It’s the third time a Davie pitcher has recorded 15-plus Ks in a seven-inning game in the 29-year history of fastpitch, and Potts has authored two of the three. The Vikings held a 1-0 lead in the third and had two runners on. But Potts slammed the door right there, whiffing eight of the next 10 batters, along with fanning three in the seventh. “Without Riley, we would have been in trouble,” Handy said. “There were not a lot of balls put in play.”Offensively, the War Ea-gles stranded two runners in the second and left the bases full in the third. But their offense got right in the fifth. After the first batter was retired, Croom provided a spark with a single. J. Davis followed with a hit. With run-ners at second and third and Davie still behind 1-0, Lank-ford pulled a two-run double down the left-field line. “It was fair by a couple of inches, and it went all the way Ks ...

Lankford, who is tied for first on the team with Landry Parsons with four doubles, ambushed the first pitch. “That was probably be-cause I jumped on them a little bit in the third inning,” Handy said. “We were pop-ping up. The pitching wasn’t West Forsyth or Reagan and we weren’t letting it travel far enough. We were making bad contact. When you take first-pitch strikes, you may not get another great pitch to hit. So Raelyn listened and she drilled it down the left-field line. Autumn (McEwen) did the same thing in the fourth inning (and hit a double).”Lankford stole third and Addie Brown walked. Brown purposely got in a rundown and Lankford scampered home to cap the three-run uprising. “Addie got out on a 1-6 play,” Handy said. “We gave them that out on purpose because we wanted some insurance.”Davie got an add-on run in the sixth. After L. Parsons walked and advanced on Hanna Steinour’s sac bunt, she scored on a single by McEwen, who is hitting .444 (8 for 18) after seeing one varsity at-bat as a sophomore. “Autumn’s been consis-tent this year,” Handy said. “She’s on base just about every game in some shape, form or fashion. She’s a real disciplined hitter. She’s had some big moments. If you’re going to be the DP, you’ve got to find a way to get on base.”Notes: J. Davis and McE- wen both went 2 for 3 in the win. Davie got one hit from Croom, Lankford, L. Parsons and Steinour. ... Brown un-selfishly accepted three walks in three plate appearances. The sophomore leads the team with 14 base on balls. “Addie’s got that true team mentality,” Handy said. “It’s not all about me, it’s about the team.” ... Davie raised its record to 10-2. ... Although Northwest is just 6-8 overall, it is first in its league at 6-1. I really wasn’t worried about (before the season). We’re not playing real well defensively. Small little errors - whether they’re mental or written in the scorebook - hurt us. Little things came back to bite us in the long run. We’ve got to clean that stuff up.”James and Allen had two hits each. Colamarino and Hayden Potts had one and Krause had two walks. Ander-son trotted out four pitchers and the last two - Xander Shinsky and Ayden Sanders - tossed one scoreless inning each. Notes: After suffering six straight losses with three one-run setbacks mixed in, the Pioneers (6-7) left Davie with a three-game winning streak. ... Davie has generally fallen short against the better teams on the schedule, but it has a tremendous opportunity coming up with games against Reagan and East Forsyth. “We’ve got some big teams (coming up) that we can get some wins against, and that’s what we’ve got to do right now,” Anderson said.

Virginia Ann Barker ‘Jenny’ White With heavy hearts we announce the passing of our be-loved Mama, Mrs. Virginia “Jenny” Ann Barker White, who left us peacefully on March 25, 2025, while at home surrounded by her children, family, and friends. She was born on June 20, 1943 in Davidson County to the late Barnie Nelson and Daisy Lee Musgrave Bark-er. She was a lady of unwavering love, strength, and kindness, who always put God her Savior first. She devoted a majority of her life alongside her husband to build-ing and managing their thriving business, Jerry’s Meat Process-ing. Working hard was just part of her nature, and she was known for it by everyone. She had a love for people and many of her cus-tomers became life long friends. Her love for flowers and a well manicured yard could be seen at her home. She would often take her customers, friends, and family on “tours” through her yard to tell them about the many different plants she grew. She loved the role of grandmother and enjoyed time spent with all of them. For many years she was the prima-ry caregiver for her husband, Jerry. Her constant care for him never wavered, in fact, she had him “spoiled” beyond measure. We find peace in knowing they are once again to-gether, after 57 years of marriage. “She made broken look beautiful and strong look invincible. She walked with the universe on her shoulders and made it look like a pair of wings.” …Ariana Dancu.The family would like to say a special thanks to Hos-pice of Iredell County and to Well Care Home Health for the kindness and care shown to Mrs. White and her family.In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by: her husband, Jerry Franklin White; her daughter-in-law, Paula White; and a sister, Daisy Mae Little.Survivors include: 2 children, Tim White of Mocksville and Teresa Stovall (Johnny) of Mocksville; 2 grandchil-dren, Gary Bumgarner (Bethany) and Cody White (Kay); 3 great-grandchildren, Brantley, Henry, and Khrissa; 2 sis-ters, Helen Leonard (Steve) of Lexington and Paula Daly (Brendan) of Virginia; several nieces and nephews; and special friend and cousin, Lorean Gobble.A funeral service was conducted at 3 p.m., Sunday, March 30 at Eaton Funeral Chapel with Suzanne McCor-kell and Pastor Keith Ledford officiating. Interment fol-lowed in Zion Cemetery. The family received friends one hour prior to the service, at the funeral home.In lieu of flowers, memorials may be considered for: Well Care Home Health, 146 Dornach Way, Advance, NC 27006; or to Sheffield-Calahaln Fire Department, 435 Dyson Road, Mocksville, NC 27028 or to Center Fire De-partment, P.O.

How about snowfall? If so, an important volunteer weather observing program needs your help. The Community Collab-orative Rain, Hail, and Snow network, or CoCoRaHS, is looking for volunteers in North Carolina. The effort is part of a national network of home-based and amateur weather spotters with a goal of providing a high density precipitation network.CoCoRaHS was born in 1998 with the intent of doing a better job of mapping and reporting intense storms. As more volunteers participat-ed, rain, hail, and snow maps were produced for every storm showing local patterns that were of interest to scien-tists and the public. Recently, drought reporting has become an observation within the Co-CoRaHS. North Carolina became the 21st state to join CoCo-RaHS in 2007, and by 2010, the network had reached all 50 states with nearly 10,000 daily observations. Through CoCoRaHS, thousands of volunteers, young and old, document the size, intensi-ty, duration and patterns of rain, hail, and snow by taking simple measurements in their own backyards.Volunteers may obtain an official rain gauge at www.cocorahs.org for about $40 plus shipping. Volunteers are asked to review training mod-ules online and submit reports a website or app. The process takes five minutes a day.Visit the CoCoRaHS web-site and click on the “Join CoCoRaHS” emblem on the upper right. After registering, take the online training, order a 4 inch rain gauge and start reporting. Become a weather reporter
